    Oh. And HUGE difference was getting those dumb color coded beachbody containers. The whole system is kind of like a pyramid scheme of trainers etc so don't go down that road. BUT buying those colored tippereares m following the guidelines is like weighing foot for dummies and it taugh me HOW to eat properly. I realized that I was eating things way out of proportions. And that I thought of corn as veg and beans as protein and not carbs which was screwing up my weightloss even when I was super healthy. Best ten bucks I ever spent and now I STILL use them because it helps me hit my macros every. Single day. Xoxo

    1. Make healthier snacks. Simply going from fried chips to baking your own will help.
    2. Don't buy junk food. It's a lot easier to avoid snacking on unhealthy foods, when you don't buy any. If you end up craving it, buy the small snack pack size. That way even if you kill off the bag, you're eating less than you usually do and it'll curb your craving to ween yourself off of them.
    3. The gym truth. No one cares, they really don't. When people workout, they usually fall into one of two groups. New people that are concentrating really hard to just finish thier workout so they ignore everyone. Regulars, that are so into thier workout wild pigs could be roaming the gym and they wouldn't notice. So just go, most gyms have trainers you can ask for advice on how to use the equipment and for tips as well.

    I'd highly recommend learning how to bake low calorie desserts. There's a lot of recipes that you can modify to include fruits and veggies-- zucchini bread, black bean brownies, applesauce cake, banana cookies, etc-- to help you reach your goals, especially if you have a sweet tooth.

    Also, not all baking is desserts! Yesterday I made sugar-free cornbread, savory muffins, and spiced lentil, sweet potato, and kale pockets with homemade wheat bread. Later on in the week, I'm going to make garlic knots and sweet potato flatbread. The actual act of baking is extremely versatile and you can find a lot of recipes that are low-cal, tasty, and great for presents. It just takes a little extra effort :)

    There is another possibility to why you are always tired. You could have food allergies. This was my issue. They make me tired, give me migraines, stuff my nose up, make my muscles hurt, and lots of other things. I wound up being allergic to ALL grains and most fruits and a LOT of veggies. So i had to be tested by a doctor to figure it all out. Doesn't mean this is your issue, but allergies CAN cause fatigue. I get so tired after eating a food I shouldn't that I have to take a nap and am groggy the next day. Maybe it's not your issue, but who knows?
